Where do I get Gnutar 1.13.19

I looked at message 34157 from the archive where John points Someone to alpha.gnu.org for gnutar 1.13.19 but I can't find alpha.gnu.org or www.alpha.gnu.org or ftp.alpha.gnu.org. So where can I get this software at this version or later. Note the version at www.gnu.org is no use as it is

Gnutar - found it

I made the mistake of trying to do it from IE which failed miserably. I got it through unix. By the way the latest version of gnutar is 1.13.25 but remember it's only an alpha release but apparently works with amanda which 1.13 apparently does not. David Flood Systems Administrator

Using Amanda witih AD

Hi everyone, This is more a samba issue than an amanda issue, but I thought someone here may have ran into it already: The NT domains at my university are being migrated to 2000 domains... this means they'll be using the new Active Directory structure. I want to continue using amanda to backup

Order of dumps? (Want large ones first, I think)

What exactly controls the order of which file systems are dumped by Amanda? Based on my brief experience, it looks large filesystems tend to be taped after the smaller ones included in the run. I guess this is good in the sense that it ensures *some* data is always backed up, but it's really

NT share basckup

I've set up a share on my NT box. I can do: 'smbclient //PC-NAME/SHARE -U username' after entering the password I can see the contents of the share. So I set up this share to be backed up by amanda. I have: Created a share on the PC Created /etc/amandapass with the correct information.

RE: NT share basckup

Did you --with-smbclient when you built AMANDA? Here's the batch file I used for building Amanda on my server, which does work with SAMBA: #!/bin/bash ./configure \ --with-user=amanda \ --with-group=disk \ --with-config=MYCONFIG \ --with-tape-device=/dev/nst0 \ --with-changer-device=/dev/sch0

Re: NT share basckup

I think the --with-smbclient and --with-samba-user options will be most helpful. As you say, --with-smbclient is the real problem. However the --with-samba-user option is deprecated in favor of putting the user name in the amandapass file. John R. Jackson, Technical Software Specialist, [EMAIL

Restore problem using amrecover

I've been trying to use amrecover to restore some files on my machine (imagine that!), but so far each time I try, I get this error on my amidxtaped.XX.debug file: path = /usr/local/sbin/amrestore argv[0] = amrestore argv[1] = -h argv[2] = -p argv[3] = /dev/nst0 argv[4] = my.system.com

2.4.2p2 compiling problems on Solaris 2.6

Hi all, I have been trying unsuccessfully to upgrade from 2.3.0.4 to 2.4.2p2 on a Solaris 2.6 box. I have removed the existing install of 2.3.0.4 so it would not get in the way. I'm compiling with the following params: ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/amanda --libexecdir=/usr/local/amanda/lib

Wouldn't it be simpler to just set a 'starttime' value for all the 'unimportant' disks so that all the dumpers will do the 'important' ones first? But, but, but .. if it doesn't involve a pipe, how can it be Unix??? :-) Yes, starttime would be another way to encourage Amanda to do things in a
